Computer error brings billions for on-line banking customer
COLOGNE, Germany, Jan 3 (AFP) -
The switch-over to 2000 was not completely free from the effects of the
millennium bug for a number of banking customers here, the German news
agency DPA reported on Monday.

An on-line customer of the local Cologne savings bank could scarely believe
his eyes when he logged in on Saturday to examine his bank account: it
showed a balance of 3,930,129,930, but the currency was not specified, DPA
reported.

Similarly, a 43-year-old customer with the same bank found that nearly 13
million marks (6.65 million euros, dollars) had been erroneously credited to
his account.
